New Challenge at TIOT

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at TIOT and our theme is

Oh so cute.

Projects of all formats are welcome, and you have 2 weeks to link to us. Have a look at the wonderful inspiration from my teamies on our blog!

I made a digital piece using elements from me, Mischief Circus and Serif: 



I am also linking to my heavy metal challenge at AJJ.

Some photos taken here in the park and house:

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  2. That silly kitty is perfect for the new challenge. Definitely my idea of cute too, as I don't have a preference between cats or dogs as they are really so different. And perfect for your fun challenge too Valerie. And I enjoyed your winter photos. Seems we're all having some tough weather this month. Happy early T day. Hugs-Erika

  7. Thanks for making me smile Valerie - your cat piece is fun - what a fab expression it has on its face :) Great photos. The rain yesterday took the last of our snow away. Have a lovely day... Gill x

  8. That cat looks pretty self satisfied. I am sure it knows that is has human staff that will think even its worst offences are mere jollity. You have serious snow there, Valerie, to rival a scene right here in Ontario where we know what winter is. But at least you don't have to shovel it. I am sure that my driveway will need two sessions today. We were supposed to receive quite a bit of snow overnight, but it appears that has not happened - yet! Last night I made haddock, with Asian rice and a Greek salad for dinner. It's a bit of an odd combination I admit, but it was all very tasty. I cooked the haddock by breading it and frying it very lightly to just crisp up the coating on each side, and then I finished it by baking it in the oven for about twelve minutes, and it really turned out perfectly. This may be my new technique! Never say an old dog can't learn new tricks. Au revoir, my dear, hasta la vista, so long for now. David

    1. Hi David. The temps have gone from -12 to +10 almost over night, the snow is melting and dripping everywhere. Your Haddock supper Sounds wonderful, great Idea. Take care of yourself, don't shovel too much! Big hugs to you both!

  19. If you have to be away from home, you certainly are in a lovely spot. It's very pretty. (That screen photo gives a lot of texture, which I rather like!). The cat in your art piece looks how I feel today!

  30. That's a really cute kitty Valerie, i'm sure if my MIL still had her cat it would be saying the same thing, she's forever shouting at her rolling wool ball hee hee..

    Off to see more as it's Friday YAY!!! Hugs Tracey xx

  32. Gorgeous snow photographs, especially the ones with the sun shining golden on them, and the old frescos. Wow those old frescos will provide you with some lovely backgrounds for future work.
    That is one cute cat, just the kind of position they. often get themselves into - what a fun page this is.
